No...no comparison. The problem in the US is what is commonly known as "gate lice", people just tend to stand around blocking the gate. That's because they are just not familiar with the boarding process.
In China it's different - crowds that actually try to push and shove there way unto trains, subways, stores, etc. Don't even get me started on Chinese tourists. The issue is you have essentially an entire country that has grown up in shacks and riding bicycles and are now 30 years later living in high rises and driving Toyotas and talking on cell phones. Think of a country of Beverly Hillbillies.
